Szentendre is a charming riverside town of artists and craftsmen, tucked at the gateway to the Danube Bend where the Visegrád Hills meet the Szentendre Danube. It's a favourite day trip from Budapest, famous for its colourful old town, galleries and rich Serbian heritage.
The town sits in a beautiful natural setting opposite Szentendre Island, right at the foot of the Visegrád Hills. In summer its riverside promenade and cobbled lanes buzz with visitors, while in the quieter months Szentendre keeps the cosy, small-town atmosphere it has carried since its days as a modest market town.
Trails and outdoor activitiesUntil the 1870s Szentendre was little more than a small town of under four thousand people - a legacy still visible in its intimate historic core today.
